In the 1960s, Eksskole was an anti-establishment art school in Copenhagen. A Danish collective of experimental artists, the group featured Andy Warhol collaborator Jørgen Leth, art historian Troels Andersen, and artists Poul Gernes and Per Kirkeby. “It was about learning from each other and being progressive,” explains School Of X, a.k.a. Danish producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Rasmus Littauer. “There were no labels – anyone could join. That philosophy is so cool and I really admire all those artists.”

Over the past years, Littauer has been the drummer of Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Major Lazer and MØ, but School Of X is his solo project. 24 September, he’ll release his second album Dancing Through The Void, and Feel Of It is its second single.

With a light-hearted backbeat, summery vibe and even an organ solo, it sounds like a future indie pop banger. The story behind the song, however, is somewhat darker, says Littauer. “It’s about the desire to break out of daily routines and boredom, craving for headspace, excitement and bigger emotions. It’s a desire that seduces me and haunts me and sometimes comes with a cost. Sometimes you end up all alone because you’ve been blinded by the light.”
